Chief Constable of Humberside v Information Commissioner & Another

Comment

Carnwath LJ gave a strong dissenting judgment in relation to the case of S, opining that it was unconvincing to disallow S’s request for deletion on the basis that many other cases would be affected. On the contrary, he asserted, in the absence of any evidence of other similar cases, the Tribunal was entitled to limit consideration to this particular case and to balance on the one hand, the effect on S of going back on the representations made to her, against, on the other, the potential significance of the information in question.
